Majority has gone for under 300K.

For those predicting over 500K, what 100% totally brand new IP has launched at over 500K on Wii U so far? Only 20 games from the entire Wii U library have done over 500K LTD so far, according to VGC. As far as I can tell the only 100% new IP that is over 500K LTD is ZombiU.

Chances are Splatoon may struggle to get 500K LTD.

I think the game may not have problems to surpass the 100K barrier in the United States, I mean, it is hyped and it's ok for children (a good portion of the Wii U's intalled base). That should do more than the <100K Bayonetta 2 managed to do. 

Also, if the game is going to suck in Japan, it shouldn't do under 50K, same for Europe, making for a total of 200K units, similar to what Tropical Freeze did. 

Well certain Nintendo fans reckon there's mostly adults who have Wii U and mostly adults who will play Splatoon, and the problem with appealing to kids is that kids want to play CoD, and that Wii U as a whole is not getting much traction with kids. I have no clue about Wii U's demographics but it seems there are different views in the Nintendo community.
